Have you thought about adding a furry addition to your family? If so, you should start researching what kind of pet you’d like to bring into your pet friendly, Southwinds Stockbridge Apartment.

There are many places from which you can adopt a pet: the Henry County Humane Society, or specific breed rescues around town, and in the city of Atlanta. If you don’t know of a particular type of breed that you want, or you want more of a selection that what’s in the Henry County Humane Society, then maybe you should consider one of Atlanta’s Rescue Shelters, the Atlanta Pet Rescue.

The Atlanta Pet Rescue is located in Midtown Atlanta, about 30 minutes away from Southwinds Stockbridge Apartments. They have a rather good selection of toy, small, and medium dogs, as well as cats. They also have various adoption events around the Atlanta area, including their 10 year birthday bash celebration and adopt-a-thon going on September 12 at Grant Park in Atlanta.

The adoption process normally consists of an on site interview, and screening process, while the adoption fee is about $250 for dogs and $115 for cats. The adoption fee covers spaying or neutering, heartworm test and rabies shot if the dog or cat is old enough, and routine vaccinations. Dogs over age 6 months are tested for heartworms; cats and kittens are tested for feline Leukemia and Aids.  All are treated for fleas, ticks and intestinal parasites. Adoptions fees can be paid by cash, Visa or Mastercard.

Before you decide to bring a pet home, be sure to review the pet policy designed by the Southwinds Stockbridge  Apartments.
